Abstract
Methods and apparatus for gathering and processing data sensed on an individual from portable heart monitors and accelerometers aligned along three orthogonal axes determine substantially equivalent oxygen consumption information during an individual's physical activities without requiring gas-flow or gas-analysis equipment. Such information promotes calculations of physiological energy expenditures, and analyses of the accelerometer data associated with a specific sensing location on an individual's body provide indication of the particular physical activity for selecting appropriate scaling factors and filtering requirements in analyzing the data to determine various parameters indicative of the individual's expenditure of physiological energy, and other health-oriented factors.
Description
- This application claims priority benefit from provisional application Ser. No. 60/447,968 entitled “Method And Algorythem For Treating Measured Physilogical Parameters To Determine Work Performed By An Individual”, filed on Feb. 15, 2003 by Thomas Clifford Wehman and Serjan D. Nikolic. The subject matter of this application relates to the subject matter of U.S. Pat. No. 6,436,052 entitled “Method and System for Sensing Activity and Measuring Work Performed by an Individual,” issued on Aug. 20, 2002 to S. Nikolic, et al., which subject matter is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference to form a part hereof.
- This invention relates to methods and apparatus for physiological monitoring of an individual during various physical activities, for example, for determining the amount of work performed by an individual during such activities, or for providing indicia of the individual's heath condition.
- Human health condition can be determined and treated upon analyzing specific physiological characteristics of a human body. The rate at which the human body consumes oxygen provides a reliable measurement for analysis of work performed by the human body. Within the body, the cardiovascular system delivers oxygen to the muscles for the use in oxidizing various fuels such as carbohydrates and fats to yield energy. This rate of oxygen consumption is commonly known as VO2 and, when compared to cardiac response, provides an indication of the health of the individual's cardiovascular system.
- Traditionally, an individual's VO2 has been obtained by comparing the individual's inhaled air volume with exhaled air volume. This comparison is performed on air volumes measured while the individual is connected to a gas analyzer and runs on a treadmill in a specialized testing facility.
- Other measures of a body's physiological activity include Heart Rate (HR), calorie (C) expenditure, and METS, or multiples of an individual's energy consumption at rest. Heart rate is a measure of how many times a heart beats in a minute, and decreases or increases during physical activity or mental stimulation. Calorie expenditure is actually Kilocalorie expenditure, but by medical convention is oftentimes referred to simply as calorie expenditure as a measure of biological energy consumption. A MET is a metabolic equivalent and is usually defined as the energy equivalent of 1 Kcal/Kg/hour, or about 3.5 ml/Kg/min (VO2).
- While the rate of oxygen consumption provides valuable information for determining an individual's fitness, the traditional method for measuring VO2 is very confining and does not allow the individual to perform usual physical activities under normal environmental conditions.
- It would therefore be desirable to determine an individual's rate of oxygen consumption, maximum rate of oxygen consumption, heart rate, calorie expenditure and METS during physical activity in a location where that physical activity would normally take place, (i.e., in Free Space) rather than in a specialized testing facility. Further, it would be highly desirable to be able to determine an individual's rate of oxygen consumption during a normal physical activity without actually measuring the gas flows with cumbersome attached equipment.
- It would also be desirable to display information about the health of an individual's cardiovascular system on a real time basis, and be able to download such information to a central station for further analysis and archiving. It would also be desirable to simultaneously monitor several individuals as they perform various activities in order to establish ‘average’ baseline parameters for each individual or, for example, from among a group of healthy, well-conditioned athletes. This promotes comparisons in real time of current levels of energy expenditure and body response to a previous session of activity, or to a baseline activity energy expenditure, or to reference levels of “normal, healthy individual” responses for certain activities.
- The present invention determines an individual's rate of oxygen consumption and maximum rate of oxygen consumption without measuring actual gas flows, and also measures heart rate, for determining calorie expenditure and METS in order to measure the amount of work performed by the individual's body. Heart rate, and acceleration along multiple axes, are measured and stored in a local storage device for analyses and display in real time, and optionally for download to a local base station. After the local storage device or the base station receives the outputs, the heart monitor and accelerometer are available to take additional measurements in successive time intervals. The base station may upload data and analyses to a central clearinghouse for processing. More specifically, the acceleration outputs are collected and processed to initially convert the outputs into motion information and then into activity information. The heart rate and activity information may then be graphed on the same or similar time base for determining their relationships in order to calculate cardiovascular response to the activity. Comparison to previous activity sessions, or to base line energy expenditure, or to reference “normal, healthy” responses from certain populations can be made and displayed substantially in real time. A cardiovascular index (CI) or similar index may be calculated by dividing the total amount of work or energy expended by the total number of heart beats during a period of time that both the energy and the heart rate are monitored.
- The apparatus of the present invention determines an individual's rate of oxygen consumption, maximum rate of oxygen consumption, heart rate and calorie expenditure in order to determine the amount of work performed by the individual's body. This allows heart rate and acceleration measurements to be taken in a ‘free-space’ environment such as in a gymnasium or a swimming pool, on a track, a court, or a field, or at home without requiring traditional gas-flow equipment to facilitate the activity taking place under normal conditions.

FIG. 1 , there is shown a pictorial illustration of a typical ‘free space’ environment in whichindividuals 9, 11, 13 may be fitted with monitoring devices M during a physical activity such as sprint-running or related competitive track events. Alternatively, a device may be embedded subcutaneously on an individual. It is desirable to determine each individual's rate of oxygen consumption (i.e., VO2) and maximum oxygen consumption without hampering physical performance with traditional gas-flow equipment attached to the individual. In addition, it is desirable to determine total calories expended, heart rate and total METs in order to determine the amount of work performed by the individual's body. In accordance with the present invention, these parameters are determined during the physical activity in a location where the physical activity would normally take place, such as on a track, a field, a court, in a gymnasium, a swimming pool, or at home. One or more monitors M may be attached to an individual at various bodily locations to measure the individual's heart rate and acceleration during the physical activity. If a heart rate monitor is not available, an estimated heart rate may be calculated from known relationship with physiological responses to acceleration that is monitored along three axes. The measurements are processed to determine the VO2 for that individual's body and to determine the relationship between the individual's activity and heart rate. - The invention is described below in reference, for example, to calculating the amount of work that is performed by an individual's body through determining the individual's VO2, or equivalent, during a physical activity, under normal conditions. “Physical activity” refers to any type of exercise, exertion or movement that the individual undergoes during the period of time that measurements are taken, and further includes normal daily activities, whether at nominal rest or in a period of physical exertion. Examples of physical activity include running, walking, jogging, jumping, swimming, biking, pushing, pulling, or any other type of physical movement that a human body can undergo.
- “Normal conditions” refers to the surrounding circumstances and manners under which a particular individual undergoes a physical activity during which the measurements are taken. By way of example, “normal conditions” includes performing physical activity on a track, court, field, or a street, on grass, concrete, or carpet, in a gymnasium or swimming pool, at home or at work or any other environment or location where the individual usually undergoes physical activity. Furthermore, “normal conditions” connotes substantial absence of artificial conditions that affect the physical activity being performed by the individual. Of course, the present invention is applicable to determining the VO2 or work of an athlete as well as for all individuals undergoing recreation or daily routines.
- Referring now to
FIG. 2A , there is shown a monitoring device, M, as illustrated on anindividual 9, 11, 13 inFIG. 1 , that includes aheart monitor 210 andaccelerometers 240 oriented along three orthogonal axes. Theheart monitor 210 may be any type of device that senses heart rate by sound or ECG signals, or the like, and supplies the sensed data toprocessor 220 that also receives the data from theaccelerometers 240, and other forms of monitoring data for digitizing and processing and storing instorage device 250. Apower converter 260 including batteries for portable operation powers theprocessor 220 and other components to facilitate convenient portable use during physical activities of an individual. Theprocessor 220 also controls atransmitter 230 or atransceiver 280 for transferring data to and from a base station 270 (not shown) that operates on the data for one or more individuals in a manner as later described herein. Theprocessor 220 also controls visual display andaudible output device 290 for providing sensory feedback to the individual of substantially real time analysis of various monitored and computed parameters indicative of the individual's heart and health conditions. In addition, sensory feedback may be supplied to the individual, for example, in response to a predetermined goal or parameter involving energy expenditure is attained. The wireless transceiver 280 (or transmitter 230) may operate on conventional RF channels, or on contemporary ‘Blue Tooth’ radio telemetry for exchanging data and computed results between each monitoringdevice 200 and aremote base station 270. Alternatively, themonitoring device 200 may include sufficient computational capability to process the sensed data internally, rather than at abase station 270, for determining such parameters as total VO2, maximum VO2, total expended energy, heart rate, and the like, for display ondevice 290. - Referring now to
FIG. 2B , there is shown a block schematic diagram of an embodiment of the monitoring device M shown inFIG. 1 . In this embodiment, the monitoring device M (201) includes amicroprocessor 221 that may, for example, contain internal memory, operate in 8-bit processing mode, and include analog and digital I/O ports for interfacing with attached sensors and input devices for performing algorithms, as described herein, and for controlling operations of themonitoring device 201. Specifically, such sensors and input devices include heart-rate sensor 211 of the sound-sensing or EGC-sensing (or other) types, and include threeaccelerometers 241 aligned along orthogonal X (fore and aft) and Y (side to side) and Z (vertical) axes, andother sensors microprocessor 221 is connected to the user-interface 247 (e.g., keyboard) for selectively entering data (e.g., individual's mass, proposed activity from a displayed menu of activities, and the like). - The
microprocessor 221 also controlsflash memory device 251 for compaction, storage and retrieval of data, and controls ofwireless interface 231 such as a ‘Blue Tooth’ RF channel for uploading and downloading data, instructions and remote calculations. In addition, themicroprocessor 221 controls anLCD display 291 suitable for indicating data entries, calculations and graphic illustration (e.g., similar toFIGS. 7, 8 ), all in accordance with operations of themonitoring device 201, for example, as described herein with reference to the flow chart ofFIG. 3 . - Referring now to the flow chart of
FIG. 3 , there is shown one embodiment of the method for determining various parameters indicative of an individual's health status. Specifically, various data are collected 31 from theaccelerometers heart monitor FIGS. 4A, 4B , and 4C for a particular attachment location on the body of an individual, for a particular physical activity. Misalignment of the accelerometer axes relative to orientation on an individual's body may be corrected conventionally in the vector analyses for performing energy calculations corrected for angular misalignments. At other attachment locations and during other physical activities, the waveforms produced by each of the accelerometers will vary and provide a ‘signature’ or characteristic waveform. Thus, amonitoring device monitoring device - An activity can be selected through the
user interface 247 by scrolling through a menu to select the activity in which the individual will engage, or the activity can be determined by the signature of the activity, as described herein. The signature includes average or maximum magnitude, direction, periodicity and changes in one or more of these parameters for each of the threeaccelerometers - A matrix of these signatures for various activities are kept in tabular form, and best fits to particular table entries determine a candidate activity. Sometimes correct selection of the particular activity will make little difference (e.g., volleyball and basketball) since both activities may have substantially the same scaling constant in the energy formula.
- The data from the heart monitor is time-stamped at each sensed heartbeat, and such data along with accelerometer data may be compressed and stored in the
storage device wireless link base station 270 having greater computational capability than within themonitoring device monitoring device - For brief intervals of physical activity, it may become desirable to extend 32 the sensed data in order to provide sufficient number of data points to accommodate conventional smoothing algorithms. For example, initial few data points at the start of an activity-monitoring session may be selected and replicated numerous times, for example, as more fully described in the aforecited U.S. patent. Similarly, terminal few data points may be selected and replicated numerous times, as may be needed for proper operation of a conventional smoothing algorithm.
- The sensed data may be compacted in the
memory device 250 to save space in the memory that can be any read/writable memory such as flash, EEROM disk, and the like. A simple conventional compression scheme is chosen to store as much information as possible on the media involved. - If data is reasonably regular with regard to accelerometer magnitude and periodicity, then only one or few cycles of this data needs to be recorded with a count of the number of such cycles in a manner similar to run-length encoding that is commonly used for repeated data values. For walking, jogging and running this can amount to considerable memory savings since these activities have highly-regular, repeated accelerometer patterns.
- Another method to save storage space is to reduce the amount of data collected, for example, by sampling for a short period (e.g. 10 samples per second for 10 seconds), then waiting for a longer period (e.g, 50 seconds) and sampling again to provide a reasonably, accurate indication of the activity.
- The method of the present invention develops parameters by which the monitored individual's activity can be identified (e.g., for use in scaling data, as later described herein). The sensed data from the three accelerometers is analyzed 33 for peak or average magnitude and periodity in connection with heart rate. For example, static and dynamic acceleration components (e.g., gravity vs. activity) are segregated from the sensed accelerometer data, and the signature characteristics of such data may be compared 35 with a matrix of known characteristics for a variety of physical activities (e.g., running, bicycling, rowing, and the like), as developed from actual testing. Such matrices may be stored locally in the
storage device remote base station 270 for interoperable computation overwireless communication link monitoring device - Specifically, the dynamic components of the sensed accelerometer data is filtered or smoothed 37 for example, using conventional curve-fitting techniques. In the case of repetitive activities, conventional sinusoidal curve fitting is one suitable technique for smoothing the sensed data from each of the three accelerometers. The sensed heart rate may be filtered 37, for example, using a succession of three or four samples to determine a moving-average value.
- Energy calculation may be substantial as disclosed in the aforecited U.S. Pat. No. 6,436,052 with the addition of the third axis accelerometer data. Further, the data may be refined by adding altitude data from
altimeter 245. A measure by an altimeter of the atmosphere pressure is made periodically and that information is converted to altitude data. A positive change in altitude represents work or energy expenditure to raise the mass of that individual through that altitude change H. Thus, W=MgH, where M is the mass of the individual and g is the force due to gravity. This result, converted to the appropriate units, is added to the activity formula for each positive elevation change in a course either by bicycle or on foot. - For exercise cycles with variable loads and treadmills with inclines, the load information may be manually entered into computations, or heart rate may be used to infer the load. The percent change in heart rate over the heart rate expected for a given duration on a no-load exercise device, times an appropriate work factor may be added to the formula for energy expenditure. This load information can also be done by using the percent change in heart rate, times a scale factor and using this factor as a base energy formula multiplier in addition to using the constant multiplier for the determined activity.
- Thus:
W=αM*Sum(accmag)+λ(ΔHr %) or
W=βαM*Sum(accmag); -
- where β=φ(ΔHr %);
- α is the constant multiplier for the determined activity;
- λ is the determined work factor;
- φ is a determined scale factor; and
- M*Sum(accmag) is the subject's mass times the integral of the accelerometer 3-axis resultant magnitude, as described herein.
Alternatively, W=αM*Sum(accmag)+μM; - where μM represents the at-rest energy consumption for a body of mass M. The multiplier μ can be different depending on whether the subject is lying down, seated or standing and this can be determined by the direction of the resultant accelerometer vector due to gravity.
- The static or gravitational component of the sensed data from each of the three accelerometers may be scaled 39 into ‘g’ units for use in energy conversion formulas, for example, as set forth in the attached Appendices I and II, and for graphing 41 with time either as individual waveforms (as shown in
FIGS. 4A, 4B , 4C) or as a single waveform (as shown inFIG. 5 ) that represents the vector composite magnitude of the three separate component waveforms. The maximum changes in total dynamic acceleration over the time of the activity may be graphed, as shown inFIG. 6 , for comparison with actual gas-flow measurement of VO2 for closely correlated or equivalent results. - The integral of the resultant or composite accelerometer vector magnitude is achieved 43 by summing these magnitudes over the time of the physical activity. The integrated value is multiplied by a person's mass and the appropriate (or scaled) coefficient for the identified activity to determine the person's energy expenditure in excess of the rest energy expenditure. The resultant can then be normalized or converted to desirable units such as V0 2 consumed, or maximum V0 2, or total calories, or total METS, or the like, for
display 47 and comparisons with results of preview performances, or with other suitable baselines.Such comparisons 49 with associatedheart rates 51 are useful for displaying 53 cardiovascular characteristics of the individual. - An energy calculation formula, as described in the aforecited U.S. Pat. No. 6,436,052 includes the numeric computation of the integral of the magnitude of the smoothed accelerometer data (g component removed) for a relatively short time span, times a constant (derived as above by recognizing the exercise activity, or stipulated for the given activity). The total energy expenditure is the accumulated sum of these calculated units over the duration of the activity.
- Referring now to the graph of
FIG. 7 for a healthy individual, there is shown one practical display of the equivalent V0 2 (e.g. in ml/min) derived according to the present invention charted against the individual's heart rate. This chart shows wide dynamic ranges of V0 2 and heart rate over the interval of a physical activity, to maxima achieved for the activity. Following cessation of the activity, the equivalent V0 2 and the heart rate decrease approximately linearly toward rest conditions. - In contrast, an individual suffering chronic or congestive heart failure (CHF) exhibits severely limited ranges of V0 2 and heart rate, as illustrated in the graph of
FIG. 8 . - Therefore, the methods and apparatus of the present invention provide substantially equivalent indications of rate of oxygen consumption and maximum rate of oxygen consumption using data from portable accelerometers positioned at a selected location on an individual and substantially aligned along three orthogonal axes. Heart rate is monitored for analyzes with the equivalent VO2 determinations to provide indications of various parameters such as total physiological energy expenditure and cardiopulmonary activity. In addition, analyses of the accelerometer data along three orthogonal axes, oriented about a specific attachment position on an individual's body thus provide ‘signature’ indications of the individual's particular physical activity. Scaling of the accelerometer data for the identified physical activity correlates levels of accelerometer activity along three axes during various physical activities with the equivalent rates of VO2 consumption for the activity (e.g., during swimming and during walking). Monitoring devices for attachment at various locations on individuals sense various parameters such as heart rate and accelerometer activities for self-contained processing and storage and display of health-oriented parameters. Alternatively, such monitoring devices may transfer data to and from remote stations via conventional wireless communication channels for remote computations and storage of data, including return transfers of calculated results for display via the monitoring device. Such display as audible or visual information may include heart rate, total VO2, maximum VO2, calorie expenditure, METS, physiological energy expanded, and the like, that can be calculated and stored for comparison against results determined during prior intervals of a particular physical activity, or against a base-line average of results determined for healthy individuals engaged in such physical activity.

- 1. TEEM=Total Energy Expenditure Measurement
- 2. Acceleration (A)=Distance/Time2=D/T2
- 3. Force (F)=Mass×Acceleration=M×A
- 4. Mechanical Work (Wm)=Force×Distance=F×D or by substituting (3) into the equation for F: Wm=M×A×D
- 5. Maximum Change in Dynamic Acceleration (MCDA) is a mathematical treatment of TEEM data which doesn't change acceleration values or dimensional units.
- 6. Total Maximum Change in Dynamic Acceleration [MCDA)T-Area] is the sum of the area under each (MCDA) Time (T) curve and is equal to the integral, ∫ yidx, where yi=height of a rectangle segment, (i), with infinitesimal base width, dx. After integration, [(MCDA)T-Area] is equal to (Σyi)(x); or since:
- (Σyi) is proportional to (MCDA) and
- (x) proportional to (T),
- then by substitution: [MCDA)T-Area] is proportional to (MCDA)(T).
- 7. VO2 Max is the measured maximum oxygen consumption rate of an individual during an aerobic stress test and is usually expressed as VO2/M.
Assumptions: - 8. MCDA has the same units and is proportional to acceleration (A).
- 9. Distance (D) on a treadmill is proportional to Time (T).
- 10. The product (MCDA)×(T) is proportional to the product (MCDA)×(D) since (D) is proportional to (T).
- 11. During a VO2 test, oxygen consumption increases with time in a regular manner until VO2 Max and can be approximated mathematically as a triangle with the base (B) equal to (time) and the height (H) equal to (oxygen consumption rate). Then the total O2 consumption is equal to the area of the triangle and the maximum VO2 Max equals the maximum height of the triangle.
- 12. During the VO2 test, total oxygen consumption was calculated from the sum of the average consumption rate for each minute interval. The average oxygen consumption for each minute was calculated by adding the rate at the end of the previous minute to the rate at the end of the present minute and dividing by 2. At the start of the first minute, the standard ‘at rest rate’ of 3.5 ml/min/kg of body weight was used. The amount of O2 consumed for the last interval was calculated as its factional proportion of a minute, still using the average rate for that interval.
Resultant Equations:
Total Work: - 13. From (4) above, Mechanical Work(WM) from the TEEM data=[M×A×D]. Substituting the equivalences from (7) & (8) above, we obtain: WM is proportional to [(M)×(MCDA)×(T)].
- 14. Total Mechanical Work (WM)T for the duration of each test=[(M)×(MCDA)×(T)T from (10) above. By substitution from (6) above, (WM)T is then proportional to: [(M)×(MCDA)T-area]
- 15. Biological Work (WB) is proportional to (VO2) consumed. Total Biological Work (WB)T is proportional to Total (VO2) consumed.
- 16. Equating (11) to (12) above we get:
- (WB)T=WM)T or:
- Total (VO2) consumed is proportional to [(M)×(MCDA)T-area].
- In conventional VO2 measurements, oxygen consumption is expressed as VO2/M. Thus, by dividing each side of the proportionality by M, our final relationship is:
- Total (VO2/M) is proportional to (MCDA)T-Area.
- 17. A graph of Total (VO2/M) versus (MCDA)T-Area for all the individuals should be linear and follow the general equation Y=aX+b.
VO2 Max: - 18. From (11) above based on a triangle's Area=½ BH, where:
- Area=total O2 consumed
- B=time to VO2 Max
- H=VO2 Max, then:
- (Total O2)=½(Time to VO2 Max) (VO2 Max), or
- (VO2 Max)=[2(Total O2)/(Time to VO2 Max)]
- 19. A graph of (VO2 Max) versus [2(Total O2)/(Time to VO2 Max)] for all the individuals should be linear and follow the general equation Y=aX+b.

E=(M)(A)(T)(R) with units in [(g)(G)(cm)] or [(g) (cm2/sec2)] 5.1 - 6. Maximum Change in Dynamic Acceleration (MCDA) is a mathematical treatment of the TEEM device acceleration data, which measures acceleration values in G's, and is proportional to (A) thus:
(A)=(α)(MCDA), where: (α) is a proportional constant. Then by substitution for (A) in equation 5.1 we get: 6.1
E=(M)(α)(MCDA)(T)(R) 6.2 - 7. VO2 is the measured oxygen consumption of an individual during an aerobic stress test and is expressed in ml/min or L/min.
Conversion Factors and Test Conditions: - 8. To convert from G's to cm/sec2 multiply by 981 (Ref. 2 below)
- 9. To convert from ergs to kilocalories multiply by 2.39×10−11 (Ref. 2)
- 10. To convert from Liters of O2 to kilocalories of energy multiply by 4.8 (Ref. 1)
- 11. Treadmill rate of speed (R) was 13.4 cm/sec
- 12. Treadmill slope grade was 0.05
- 13. At rest energy expenditure, ER=1 kcal/kg/hour or ER=1.67×10−2 kcal/kg/min (Ref. 1)
- 14. Total oxygen consumption, Total (VO2), was obtained by summing the amount of oxygen consumed for each minute interval during the test. The amount of O2 consumed for the last interval, which was usually less than a minute, was calculated by multiplying the fractional portion of a minute times the last interval consumption rate.
Energy Expenditure Calculation: - 15. Total Maximum Change in Dynamic Acceleration α[(MCDA)area] is the sum of the area under each (α)(MCDA)(T) curve and is equal to the integral, ∫ yidx, where yi=height of a rectangle segment, (i), with infinitesimal base width, dx. After integration, [(MCDA)T-Area] is equal to (εyi)(x) or since: (εyi) is equal to α(MCDA) and (x) is equal to (T), then:
(α)(MCDA)(T)−(α)[(MCDA)area]. Where: 15.1- (α)(MCDA) is measured in G's and time (T) is measured in minutes.
- Then by substituting 15.1 into 6.2 we get the final equation:
E=(M)(α)[(MCDA)area](R). 15.2 - Converting from G's, ergs, kg and minutes we get energy in Kilocalories:
E(in kcal)=(981)(2.39×10−11)(60)(103)(α)(M)(MCDA)area](R) 15.3 - Dimensional analysis of equation (15.3):
- E(in kcal)=(cm/sec2/G)(kcal/erg)(sec/min)(kg)(g/kg)(G)(min)(cm/sec).
- After unit cancellation (see 4.1 above): E=(g cm2/sec2)(kcal/erg)=kcal: Simplifying (15.3) when (R)=13.4 (cm/sec)(from 11 above) gives:
E(in kcal)[1.89×10−2(α)(M)(MCDA)area] 15.4 - E is in kcal, (M) is in kg, (α) is unit less, (MCDA)area is in G's-min
- 16. Determination of energy expenditure on a treadmill from TEEM data:
- Total energy expenditure (ET) on a treadmill for a person of mass (M) is the sum of the rest component (R) plus the horizontal component (H) plus the vertical component (V):
E T =ΣE R +E H +E V 16.1 - For ER:
From 13 above, E R=(1.67×10−2 kcal/min)(M) 16.2- where: (ER) in kcal, (T) in minutes, (M) in kg
- For EH & EV:
- Energy expenditure for (EH) and (EV) is recorded as TEEM data and can be calculated from (15.4) above taking into account that (EV) requires 18 times more calorie expenditure than (EH) (ref 1).
E H=(1.89×10−2)(α)(M)(MCDA)area 16.3 - The vertical portion of the treadmill is proportional to the percent grade and can be calculated from:
- Equations 16.3 and 16.4 can be combined and simplified to give:
E H +E V =E H+V=(3.59×10−2)(α)(M)(MCDA)area 16.5 - Then the final equation for energy expenditure measurement from the TEEM data:
E T =ΣE R +E H +E V =ΣE R +E H+V=(1.67×10−2)(T)(M)+(3.59×10−2)(α)(M)(MCDA)area 16.6
- Energy expenditure for (EH) and (EV) is recorded as TEEM data and can be calculated from (15.4) above taking into account that (EV) requires 18 times more calorie expenditure than (EH) (ref 1).
- Total energy expenditure (ET) on a treadmill for a person of mass (M) is the sum of the rest component (R) plus the horizontal component (H) plus the vertical component (V):
- 17. Determination of energy expenditure on a treadmill from oxygen consumption, VO2:
E T(in Kcal)=[(ΣVO 2)(4.8 Kcal/L)] where EVO2 is total VO2 in liters and 4.8 kcal/L is the conversion factor (obtained from Ref. 1 below). 17.1 - 18. Energy calculated from the TEEM data should equal the energy determined by oxygen consumption. Thus equating the two equations we get the equation:
E T(VO 2)=E T(TEEM) =ΣE R +E H+V 18.1- Thus from 18.1 and 16.6 above:
(ΣVO 2)(4.8 Kcal/L)=(1.67×10−2)(T)(M)+(3.59×10−2)(α)(M)(MCDA)area 18.2
- Thus from 18.1 and 16.6 above:
-
- 19. Graphing (ΣVO2) vs. (M)(MCDA)area or a rearrangement of terms will give a straight line. A simpler treatment assumes that since total VO2 is directly proportional to energy, then (MCDA)area is too since it records all body movement (including breathing). Then energy obtained from VO2 can be equated to energy obtained from (MCDA)area to give:
[(ΣVO 2)×(4.8 Kcal/L)]=(MCDA)area 19.1- Then graphing [(ΣVO2)(4.8 Kcal/L)] Vs (MCDA)area or a rearrangement of terms will give a straight line.
